"When the Sacred Scriptures are read in the Church, God himself speaks to his people, and Christ, present in his word, proclaims the Gospel. Therefore, the readings from the Word of God are to be listened to reverently by everyone, for they are an element of the greatest importance in the Liturgy. Although in the readings from Sacred Scripture the Word of God is addressed to all people of whatever era and is understandable to them, a fuller understanding and a greater efficaciousness of the word is nevertheless fostered by a living commentary on the word, that is, by the Homily, as part of the liturgical action."(General Instruction of the Roman Missal [GIRM], no. 29)
Readers/Lectors proclaim the Word of God to the faith community during Mass on Sundays, Holy Days, and special occasions. Readers prepare by attending formation sessions, individual prayer, practice and planning. Training is provided by the Parish. To become a lector, contact our pastor or Kim Langford.
Scheduling for readers is handled by Kim Langford who may be reached at 316.518.0302. -
